An artist is searching for a subject in the open air. Suddenly, a man emerges from a chimney. They become acquainted. The artist invites his new acquaintance to his studio and shows him his work. Suddenly, in a parallel reality, they find themselves members of a radical cell in Germany, where the future of that country is being foretold. The vision disappears. And the artist paints a portrait of his new acquaintance. It is 1982. A portrait of Leonid Ilyich is visible in Red Square. War is raging in the Falkland Islands.
